Wow. This is one super-fast router. Using the AC band with my Nexus 5 shows just how fast AC speeds are. I am able to play Hi-profile HD movies several feet away from the router without the slightest lag.

I earlier owned the RT-N56U, and this one beats it all hands down. It has a dual core processor, and the results really show. I have a 2TB HDD connected to it on the USB3 port and have been using this as my media server. At any given time their are at least 5 clients connected to it, and it...

Still under observation untill now no issues with the product working great

Best AC router Available. Superb speed
For anyone saying the price to be very high, *This is NOT a router for people who just wish to connect to the internet and surf the internet * !

This is a high end AC router. This is a router well suited for
1) Home with network streaming and drive sharing requirements
2) Small Home Office with network file sharing needs.

Pros
1) Can Share any printer as a network shared printer by connecting the printer to the USB 2.0 port.
2) Set up any USB 2.0/3....

After strugging with a D-Link router that used to hang, drop connections, etc. - I did a lot of research and though I thought this modem was expensive, I wanted to pick the best modem money can buy.

It was a close decision between this and Apple Time Capsule, which also had storage, but went with this because of external antennae and slightly better range - especially at home with a lot of walls, corners, etc.

I must say that we've been using this heavily (6 devices connected at most times...

Moved to the latest merlin firmware. Has been serving rock solid ever since, no reboots whatsoever. The interface to setup things is very nice, none the less a bit buggy even with the latest merlin firmware.
I have a 20mbps connection, 1 desktop via cable, 2 laptops, 3 phones, 2 tablets and a chromecast, everyithing on wifi. There are instances of 3 HD video streams being used simultaneously across different devices, sometimes streaming off my desktop using plex and it handles everything wit...

I am reviewing it after using it for about a month. Overall performance was pretty good. Few things that I didn't like are following

-I am not happy with the way it handles 3G data cards. Once 3G data card gets disconnected it takes not only few tries but also overall router becomes unresponsive for few minutes. I am not sure whether it is a generic issue or specific to mine.
-Every setting changes takes about a minute to reflect since for most of the router settings it gets restarted.

Ap...

Awesome device.

New packing Feb 2018

It's been just a day using this router that I am writing a review. After having tried Netgear Nighthawk X4S and Linksys EA7500, both MU-MIMO based, I feel this one beats them in term of sheer performance. Although this Asus RT-AC68U does not match up to the former two in specifications, it exceeds them in range and throughput. Having connected up to 6 devices with at least 3 streaming full HD videos the router's CPU usage hardly crosses the 2 to 4 percent mark. The styling is also cool with t...
